Best Hair Store - Kinky Straight Clip in Extension Review

It is only recently that I have taken more of an interest in using hair pieces to incorporate into styling my hair. I was lucky enough to be contacted by the Best Hair Store to review the Kinky Straight Real Human Hair Natural Color Clip In Hair Extensions , which I was excited to try.  I think the best thing about clip in extensions are that they provide a instant , temporary and simple way to change your hair whether it is to gain a few extra inches of length or by simply enhancing the thickness to make hair look fuller.

I chose the 100g 16 inch set which came with the following extension pieces.

• 1 piece  - 8 inch with 4 clips
• 2 Pieces - 6 inch with 3 clips
• 3 pieces - 4 inch with 2 clips
• 1 piece  - 1 inch with 1 clip

Included within the package was a pair of 100% mink eye lashes and two hair combs - thin tailcomb an normal hair comb which was a nice unexpected gesture. 

The extensions are 100% Human Virgin Hair so heat can be used when styling. The hair itself is soft and tangle free with very minimal shedding. One thing that I would say regarding the natural hair colour is that it was not totally dark brown like my natural hair as i perceived from the website image but I would describe it more as a chocolate brown with a slight burgundy tone in natural lighting. As I am a user of hair colourants, it's nothing that a box of semi-permanent dye cannot fix.

I assumed it was going to be difficult trying to find a way to blend my natural 4c hair with the extensions, but I found by straightening my hair first then plaiting my hair and putting the heat on the plaits did just the trick in getting the perfect kinky straight effect!

In terms of the estimated lifetime of the hair, the best hair store recommend with proper TLC , the hair should last more than 6 months. Personally for myself, I feel mine will last longer as I will be using them occasionally for protective styling.

Overall the customer service for the best hair store was second to none.They did not hesitate to keep in touch via email from the beginning to the end of my shopping experience. Unfortunately my order arrived damaged from DHL but it was okay as the goods were very safely packaged. However, I did sent them an email just to make them aware and they reply back efficiently and informed me that for future orders this should not be an issue as they have sourced new stronger packaging. Lastly the delivery was very quick, despite it being shipped from the other side of the world to me,  I received my package within 2 days from ordering! 

Kinky straight hair comes in 7 different inch lengths ( 10, 12 , 14, 16, 18, 20,22) and retails approx between £56 - £98.

Will you be changing your hair for the summer?

Peace , Love & Besos
